Hi Mike - I've had the interior out of two different Supersports and the screws were done quite differently. Putting things back together is more trial and error than anything else. Basically just take your time, consider what you're doing and the available screws, and make sure you don't do anything silly like driving a screw right out the other side of a piece. I have done the reassembly 4 times total on two different boats, and I've always had to make one trip to the hardware store at least.

Put the side rails on first - they should take your longest screws - and go from there. Where you are screwing into the hull, you'll want to fill the hole with caulk before putting the screw in. The proper screw is an oval head stainless, with a stainless finish washer. If you use a poly washer under the finish washer it will keep you from digging into that new varnish.

Good luck and welcome to Whaler Central!
